James and April

Welcome to our blog!!

Somewhere out there is a child that God has planned for us. It may not be of our flesh and blood, but it’s still ours. And somewhere out there is a birthmother, who is searching for a better life for her unborn child. A better life than maybe she had, or a better life than she alone can provide. With God’s strength and guidance, we will find that mother. And with God’s help, we will be that family the birthmother has dreamed of all along. A family to love and care for her child, our child, in a way she could not……to raise that child to know the love of a family, and most importantly the unfailing love of their Heavenly Father.

God has given us this burden, to parent a child, to be the answer this birthmother is looking for. We pray God gives us the resources we need to further this mission, and we will give Him all the praise as we continue our journey……our “labor” of love!

Our Story

Hi! Our names are James and April. We have been married for 10 years now. We pastor a Free Will Baptist church, and have been for 2 years in August. James also has a fulltime job driving as a forklift driver, and I work in a quilt shop. We've hoped for a baby for a while now, but see that it is not God's will to have one of our own, but that He has led us to adopt a child. We can't wait to get all this done, but realize this will be a long road. Please keep us in your prayers, that we will have the resources we need get going.
